Questions
-
Does it seem possible that "landgendarme stationed here" meant that he was part of the Landgendarmeriekorps, a part of the army of the Kingdom of Hannover? Anyone know if there's an online source for those records?
-
Would anyone be able to confirm for me that the parish of Oesselse was part of the Kirchenkreis Sarsted (if so, those records do not appear to be online, alas)
-
Any other tips for/help in breaking this wall aside from a trip to Germany?
There's also one unverified reference, but this is related to where he was stationed in 1848 (and likely the source of his birthdate) and not anything to do with his birthplace
